This country needs to come together

Once again, a terrible tragedy has occurred in our country. The Boston Marathon, a fun and loving family event, ended in death and injuries. The hate and evil sickness of those who committed this crime is unforgivable.

As a country we need to come together, take the evil and hate and prejudices out of our lives, and take a look in the mirrors and say am I anything like the person who did these things? Am I guilty of some of those vices, am I teaching my family and loved ones to be evil and hateful? If so, you may be contributing to persons who could be capable of crimes such as this.

In everyday life one can hear and read some very critical and hateful stories from many so-called Christian followers, quoting scriptures of love, but not exercising what they speak. We have a lot of people teaching unhealthy and degrading ideas to our youth, causing them to be confused and misbehaving, having jealousy and malice toward others.

Wake up, America, other countries are looking at our social and political division. We must not live in fear. Together we stand, divided we fall.
